Windows 7 Official Public Beta

[Kronir]

Well, 55% downloaded, and it says it has about an hour left to finish. And we have about an hour & 10 minutes until the keys come up. Good times. :D

you guys know you don't need keys to install...You just need a key within 30 days.

To those who have already installed: Did you say that you can upgrade from Vista and it will automatically allow you to either boot vista or 7?

If so, would this work on boot camp?

Maybe its time for a 'Windows 7 installation' thread, take a load off this one.

You'll have to goto their site to get them.

Will I be able to create a dual boot for Win 7 x64 and XP x32?

[primexx]

how are you guys downloading it? (aka how did you get past the 'server too busy' thing)

Mine just finishing D/Ling. I think most, if not all, people who have it have used the direct (well, through the downloader) link, as opposed to completeting the form and getting a key.

Nobody seems to have a key yet, and few have cleared the registration or whatever it is.

I don't see why not; just create a new partition and install Windows 7 there. :) AFAIK, it should work fine.

Just make a new partitions and install win 7 on it, it will automatically add the win 7 entry to the boot menu. It's REALLY easy and this question has been answered 50 million times. google.

HOLY ****!!

I loaded it into virtual pc, and even the boot screen is animated! I wasn't expecting that to work in VPC

I hope everyone bypassing the sign-up page didn't already fill up the 2.5M downloads. It's gonna suck when the key script goes to check the download count and says "Sorry, they're all gone" before it issues a single one. ;)

I doubt that exact question has been asked 50 million times, and there probably isn't much info on google considering Windows 7 Beta is just officially coming out today.

It may have been possible with Vista, and there may have been 560 million ?'s about it, but AFAIK that doesn't necessarily mean it will work with Win 7.

A big thank you to the people with answers. :)

Made it through the registration form only to get that same error. C'mon MS. You're in the Data Center biz now...man up.

Look at the last few pages, it's been posted many times :blink:

[Krigo]

Small question: When will the sign up page be officially available

8PM London time, correct? To pass the time I've installed Oblivion on here. Not really noticing any lag, especially when maxed.
